Watch VS Warning

Knowing the difference when it matters most!

When a storm rolls into town, the first thing on your mind is how close it is to your home and loved ones. Moments like these remind us how important it is to know the difference between a storm watch and a storm warning.

As stated by Weather Works, the difference between the two is as follows:

• A WATCH means that current weather conditions could potentially develop into severe thunderstorms or tornadoes and it's important to stay updated on the current weather situation as well as be prepared to seek shelter if necessary.
• A WARNING means that severe weather is imminent in your area or is already occurring and immediate action should be taken to protect yourselves and your loved ones.

Don't wait until a storm arrives to make sure you are prepared! Be sure to develop a plan of action for your family and have a safety kit ready before the storm hits. This will ensure your loved ones are safe and prepared for anything that comes their way.
